English translation:most extreme otherness.
Explanation:
utter otherness / plentiful otherness... etc. the adjective depending on the connotations it carries regarding either this writer or his works...
I think the idea comes from Alter Ego, the other, that one we wish we were (and sometimes perceive ourselves wrongly we are).
